Universal Studios Islands of Adventure Velocicoaster nighttime entrance

What I Found Odd About Velocicoaster & Other Universal Observations

November 15, 2024November 15, 20245 Comments

I decided not to do a proper trip report for my single Universal Studios Florida day. By the combined powers of Universal’s Express Pass and the touring style of my trip group, it was all very ride-to-ride-to-ride (and Velocicoaster three times!). Efficient, yes, but hardly entertaining when rendered in prose. Still, you know I can’t go to a theme...

In Which Jenn Goes To Busch Gardens With Her Eyeliner On Fleek

October 23, 2018August 19, 2021Leave a comment

Pat and I took our annual pilgrimage to Busch Gardens last Sunday, and it was… something. Unfortunately the experience was not quite what it’s been in past years. This is mostly not Busch Gardens’ fault: they can’t control the weather, after all. Sunday’s predicted high of 60 degrees never came to fruition, and while it was pleasant enough in the...

In Which Jenn Kills A Bug With Her Face At Busch Gardens Williamsburg

October 26, 2017August 30, 20212 Comments

 After the physical difficulty of the Baltimore Marathon, my quads and Achilles were shot. Naturally I chose to spend my Sunday traipsing all over Busch Gardens Williamsburg.  WORTH IT.  Honestly it was probably good for me to keep myself moving and stretch out my muscles, and anyway we had an awesome time. And with a half price Groupon, why...

In Which Jenn Goes Back To Busch Gardens Williamsburg

October 13, 2016September 2, 20214 Comments

This blog assumes two items: All amusement parks are, to varying degrees but with utmost certainty, inferior to Disney parks. They are still fun. Therefore when a Groupon popped up for Busch Gardens Williamsburg about three hours south of us, Pat and I jumped at the chance. We’ve been there before and nothing has changed since then, but I...

In Which Jenn & Elizabeth Visit Kings Dominion

July 5, 2016September 2, 20212 Comments

A couple weeks ago Elizabeth and I went to Kings Dominion in Doswell, VA, to run a 5K and 10K, respectively. Our race fee included park admission in the price, so we stayed on post-race to ride some coasters. Here are our thoughts on the experience. JENN: Ready to talk about Kings Dominion? ELIZABETH: Yes! JENN: Was it your first time...

In Which Jenn Returns To Busch Gardens Williamsburg

November 3, 2015August 10, 20215 Comments

Hello, humans! Last Sunday Pat and I ventured to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for their last regular operation day of the year. Elizabeth and I covered this park a couple years ago, but since it’s been awhile I figured I’d pop in with my impressions. Let’s roll. Step one: always try to go on a gloomy, slightly rainy day. This,...

In Which Jenn & Elizabeth Have A Great Adventure

July 23, 2014August 13, 202111 Comments

Elizabeth and I recently went to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. While this comes nowhere close to a whiff of a whisper of a shadow of hanging out a WDW, I thought you might like to hear about our experiences anyway. And now here we are! JENN: Please welcome back the World’s Greatest Traveling Companion, Elizabeth! ELIZABETH: So,...

Hooray! Elizabeth is here again to help me with another review! Join us as we head to Busch Gardens Williamsburg. JENN: A round of applause for my faithful guest judge, Interplanetary Explorer Extraordinaire Elizabeth! ELIZABETH: I dunno about interplanetary: after watching Gravity I don’t think I ever want to go out there. JENN: Haha, good call. ELIZABETH: I have...

In Which Jenn & Elizabeth Go to Hershey Park

October 11, 2013August 15, 20216 Comments

Welcome back to my faithful pinch hitter, Elizabeth! ELIZABETH: So – we’re going to discuss Hershey Park? JENN: Yup! Because Disney people tend to be somewhat curious about other parks. ELIZABETH: What! But how could any other place measure up? JENN: It couldn’t. We just want to feel smugly superior. Also, roller coasters. ELIZABETH: Ah, right. I will say...
